IF YOU LIVE IN (OR ARE A
BUSINESS WITH A PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS IN) THE UNITED STATES, PLEASE READ
THE “BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER” SECTION BELOW. IT AFFECTS HOW
DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED.
These
license terms are an agreement between you and Microsoft Corporation (or one of
its affiliates). They apply to the software named above and any Microsoft
services or software updates (except to the extent such services or updates are
accompanied by new or additional terms, in which case
those different terms apply prospectively and do not alter your or Microsoft’s
rights relating to pre-updated software or services). IF
YOU COMPLY WITH THESE LICENSE TERMS, YOU HAVE THE RIGHTS BELOW. BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS.
1.
INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.
b)
Third Party Software. The software may include third party applications that Microsoft,
not the third party, licenses to you under this agreement. Any included notices
for third party applications are for your information only.
c)
Open Source Components. The software may contain third party copyrighted software licensed
under open source licenses with source code availability obligations. Copies of
those licenses are included in the ThirdPartyNotices file or other accompanying
notices file.
d)
Microsoft Services
Agreement. Some features of the
software provide access to, or rely on, online services. The use of those
services (but not the software) is governed by the separate terms and privacy
policies in the Microsoft Services Agreement at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=398923.
Please read them. The services may not be available in all regions.
2.
DATA COLLECTION. The software may collect information about you and your use of the
software and send that to Microsoft. Microsoft may use this information to
provide services and improve Microsoft’s products and services. Your opt-out
rights, if any, are described in the product documentation. Some features in
the software may enable collection of data from users of your applications that
access or use the software. If you use these features to enable data collection
in your applications, you must comply with applicable law, including getting
any required user consent, and maintain a prominent privacy policy that
accurately informs users about how you use, collect, and share their data. You
can learn more about Microsoft’s data collection and use in the product
documentation and the Microsoft Privacy Statement at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=521839.
You agree to comply with all applicable provisions of the Microsoft Privacy
Statement.
3.
SCOPE OF LICENSE. The software is licensed, not sold. Microsoft reserves all other
rights. Unless applicable law gives you more rights despite this limitation,
you will not (and have no right to):
a) work around any technical limitations in
the software that only allow you to use it in certain ways;
b) reverse engineer, decompile, or
disassemble the software, or attempt to do so, except and only to the extent
required by third party licensing terms governing the use of certain
open-source components that may be included with the software;
c) remove, minimize, block, or modify any
notices of Microsoft or its suppliers in the software;
d) use the software for commercial,
non-profit, or revenue-generating activities;
e) use the software in any way that is
against the law or to create or propagate malware; or
f)
share, publish,
distribute, or lend the software, provide the software as a stand-alone hosted
solution for others to use, or transfer the software or this agreement to any
third party.
4.
EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. You must comply with all domestic and international export laws and
regulations that apply to the software, which include restrictions on
destinations, end users, and end use. For further information on export restrictions,
visit https://aka.ms/exporting.
5.
SUPPORT SERVICES. Microsoft is not obligated under this agreement to provide any
support services for the software. Any support provided is “as is”, “with all
faults”, and without warranty of any kind.
6.
UPDATES. The
software may periodically check for updates, and download and install them for
you. You may obtain updates only from Microsoft or authorized sources.
Microsoft may need to update your system to provide you with updates. You agree
to receive these automatic updates without any additional notice. Updates may
not include or support all existing software features, services, or peripheral
devices.
8.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This agreement, and any other terms Microsoft may provide for
supplements, updates, or third-party applications, is the entire agreement for
the software.
9.
APPLICABLE LAW AND PLACE TO RESOLVE
DISPUTES. If you acquired the software in the
United States or Canada, the laws of the state or province where you live (or,
if a business, where your principal place of business is located) govern the
interpretation of this agreement, claims for its breach, and all other claims
(including consumer protection, unfair competition, and tort claims),
regardless of conflict of laws principles, except that the FAA governs
everything related to arbitration. If you acquired the software in any other
country, its laws apply, except that the FAA governs everything related to
arbitration. If U.S. federal jurisdiction exists, you and Microsoft consent to
exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal court in King County,
Washington for all disputes heard in court (excluding arbitration). If not, you
and Microsoft consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the Superior Court
of King County, Washington for all disputes heard in court (excluding
arbitration).
10. CONSUMER RIGHTS; REGIONAL VARIATIONS.
This agreement describes certain legal rights. You may have other rights,
including consumer rights, under the laws of your state, province, or country.
Separate and apart from your relationship with Microsoft, you may also have
rights with respect to the party from which you acquired the software. This
agreement does not change those other rights if the laws of your state,
province, or country do not permit it to do so. For example, if you acquired the
software in one of the below regions, or mandatory country law applies, then
the following provisions apply to you:
a)
Australia.
You have statutory guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law and nothing in
this agreement is intended to affect those rights.
b)
Canada. If
you acquired this software in Canada, you may stop receiving updates by turning
off the automatic update feature, disconnecting your device from the Internet
(if and when you re-connect to the Internet, however, the software will resume
checking for and installing updates), or uninstalling the software. The product
documentation, if any, may also specify how to turn off updates for your
specific device or software.
c)
Germany and Austria.
i. Warranty. The properly licensed software will perform
substantially as described in any Microsoft materials that accompany the
software. However, Microsoft gives no contractual guarantee in relation to the
licensed software.
ii. Limitation
of Liability. In case of
intentional conduct, gross negligence, claims based on the Product Liability
Act, as well as, in case of death or personal or physical injury, Microsoft is
liable according to the statutory law.
Subject to the
foregoing clause ii., Microsoft will only be liable for slight negligence if
Microsoft is in breach of such material contractual obligations, the
fulfillment of which facilitate the due performance of this agreement, the
breach of which would endanger the purpose of this agreement and the compliance
with which a party may constantly trust in (so-called "cardinal
obligations"). In other cases of slight negligence, Microsoft will not be
liable for slight negligence.
11. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. THE SOFTWARE IS LICENSED “AS IS.” YOU BEAR
THE RISK OF USING IT. MICROSOFT GIVES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES, OR
CONDITIONS. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS, MICROSOFT EXCLUDES
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
12. LIMITATION ON AND EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES. IF YOU HAVE ANY BASIS FOR
RECOVERING DAMAGES DESPITE THE PRECEDING DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY, YOU CAN
RECOVER FROM MICROSOFT AND ITS SUPPLIERS ONLY DIRECT DAMAGES UP TO U.S. $5.00.
YOU CANNOT RECOVER ANY OTHER DAMAGES, INCLUDING CONSEQUENTIAL, LOST PROFITS,
SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES.
This
limitation applies to (a) anything related to the software, services, content
(including code) on third party Internet sites, or third party applications;
and (b) claims for breach of contract, warranty, guarantee, or condition;
strict liability, negligence, or other tort; or any other claim; in each case
to the extent permitted by applicable law.
It also applies even
if Microsoft knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages.
The above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you because your state,
province, or country may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental,
consequential, or other damages.
Please
note: As this software is distributed in Canada, some of the clauses in this
agreement are provided below in French.
Remarque:
Ce logiciel étant distribué au Canada, certaines des clauses dans ce contrat
sont fournies ci-dessous en français.
EXONÉRATION
DE GARANTIE. Le logiciel visé par une licence est offert « tel quel ». Toute
utilisation de ce logiciel est à votre seule risque et péril. Microsoft
n’accorde aucune autre garantie expresse. Vous pouvez bénéficier de droits
additionnels en vertu du droit local sur la protection des consommateurs, que
ce contrat ne peut modifier. La ou elles sont permises par le droit locale, les
garanties implicites de qualité marchande, d’adéquation à un usage particulier
et d’absence de contrefaçon sont exclues.
LIMITATION
DES DOMMAGES-INTÉRÊTS ET EXCLUSION DE RESPONSABILITÉ POUR LES DOMMAGES. Vous
pouvez obtenir de Microsoft et de ses fournisseurs une indemnisation en cas de
dommages directs uniquement à hauteur de 5,00 $ US. Vous ne pouvez prétendre à
aucune indemnisation pour les autres dommages, y compris les dommages spéciaux,
indirects ou accessoires et pertes de bénéfices.
Cette
limitation concerne:
• tout ce qui
est relié au logiciel, aux services ou au contenu (y compris le code) figurant
sur des sites Internet tiers ou dans des programmes tiers; et
• les
réclamations au titre de violation de contrat ou de garantie, ou au titre de
responsabilité stricte, de négligence ou d’une autre faute dans la limite
autorisée par la loi en vigueur.
Elle
s’applique également, même si Microsoft connaissait ou devrait connaître
l’éventualité d’un tel dommage. Si votre pays n’autorise pas l’exclusion ou la
limitation de responsabilité pour les dommages indirects, accessoires ou de
quelque nature que ce soit, il se peut que la limitation ou l’exclusion
ci-dessus ne s’appliquera pas à votre égard.
EFFET
JURIDIQUE. Le présent contrat décrit certains droits juridiques. Vous pourriez
avoir d’autres droits prévus par les lois de votre pays. Le présent contrat ne
modifie pas les droits que vous confèrent les lois de votre pays si celles-ci
ne le permettent pas.
